2 Књига дневника 25
1 Беше Амасији двадесет и пет година кад поче царовати, и царова двадесет и девет година у Јерусалиму. Матери му беше име Јоадана из Јерусалима.
Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
2 Он чињаше што је право пред Господом, али не целим срцем.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, but not with a perfect heart.
3 И кад се утврди у царству, поби слуге своје који убише цара оца његовог.
Now when the kingdom was established to him, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.
4 Али синове њихове не погуби, него учини како пише у закону, у књизи Мојсијевој, где је заповедио Господ говорећи: Очеви да не гину за синове, ни синови за очеве, него сваки за свој грех нека гине.
But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”
5 Иза тога скупи Амасија народ Јудин, и постави по домовима отачким хиљаднике и стотинике по свој земљи Јудиној и Венијаминовој, и изброја их од двадесет година и више, и нађе их триста хиљада војника избраних, који ношаху копље и штит.
Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin. He counted them from twenty years old and upward, and found that there were three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go out to war, who could handle spear and shield.
6 И јоште најми између Израиљаца сто хиљада храбрих људи за сто таланата сребра.
He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
7 Али дође му човек Божји и рече: Царе, да не иде с тобом војска израиљска, јер Господ није с Израиљцима нити са синовима Јефремовим.
A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.
8 Него иди ти, и буди храбар у боју; иначе ће те оборити Бог пред непријатељем, јер Бог може и помоћи и оборити.
But if you will go, take action, and be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”
9 Тада рече Амасија човеку Божјем: А шта ће бити са сто таланата што сам дао војсци Израиљевој? А човек Божји рече: Има Господ да ти да више од тога.
Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”
10 И тако одвоји Амасија војску што му беше дошла од Јефрема да отиду у своје место; а они се врло расрдише на Јуду, и вратише се у своје место с великим гневом.
Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again. Therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
11 А Амасија ослободивши се поведе народ свој и отиде у слану долину, и поби десет хиљада синова Сирових;
Amaziah took courage, and led his people out and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir.
12 И десет хиљада живих заробише Јудејци, и одведоше их на врх стене, и побацаше их са врх стене да се сви распадоше.
The children of Judah carried away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.
13 А војници које Амасија посла натраг да не иду с њим у бој, навалише на градове Јудине од Самарије до Вет-Орона, и побише по њима три хиљаде, и запленише велик плен.
But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much plunder.
14 А кад се врати Амасија разбивши Идумеје, донесе богове синова Сирових, и постави их себи за богове, и клањаше им се и кађаше им.
Now after Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them and burnt incense to them.
15 Тада се разгневи Господ на Амасију, и посла к њему пророка, који му рече: Зашто тражиш богове тог народа, који не избавише свој народ из твоје руке?
Therefore the LORD’s anger burnt against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?”
16 И кад говораше цару, он му рече: Јеси ли постављен цару за саветника? Престани; зашто да погинеш? И тако преста пророк, али рече: Знам да те је Бог наумио истребити кад то радиш а не слушаш савет мој.
As he talked with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counsellors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
17 Тада смисли Амасија, цар Јудин, и посла к Јоасу сина Јоахаза сина Јујевог, цару Израиљевом, и поручи: Ходи да се огледамо.
Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come! Let’s look one another in the face.”
18 А Јоас цар Израиљев посла к Амасији цару Јудином и поручи му: Трн на Ливану посла ка кедру на Ливану, и поручи: Дај своју кћер сину мом за жену. Али наиђе зверје ливанско и изгази трн.
Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as his wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.
19 Велиш, побио си Едомце, па се понесе срце твоје, и тражиш славе; седи код куће своје; зашто би се заплетао у зло да паднеш и ти и Јуда с тобом?
You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you and Judah with you?’”
20 Али не послуша Амасија, јер од Господа то би да их да у руке непријатељу, што тражише богове едомске.
But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
21 И отиде Јоас цар Израиљев, и огледаше се, он и Амасија цар Јудин, у Вет-Семесу Јудином.
So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
22 Али Јуду разби Израиљ, те побегоше сваки ка свом шатору.
Judah was defeated by Israel; so every man fled to his tent.
23 А Амасију цара Јудиног, сина Јоаса сина Јоахазовог, ухвати Јоас цар Израиљев у Вет-Семесу, и одведе га у Јерусалим; и обори зид јерусалимски од врата Јефремових до врата на углу, четири стотине лаката.
Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
24 И узе све злато и сребро и све посуђе што се нађе у дому Божијем у Овид-Едома и у ризници дома царског, и таоце, па се врати у Самарију.
He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
25 И поживе Амасија син Јоасов цар Јудин по смрти Јоаса сина Јоахаза цара Израиљевог петнаест година.
Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
26 А остала дела Амасијина прва и последња, ето нису ли записана у књизи о царевима Јудиним и Израиљевим?
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren’t they written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
27 И пошто Амасија одступи од Господа, дигоше буну на њ у Јерусалиму, а он побеже у Лахис. Али послаше за њим у Лахис, и убише га онде.
Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
28 И донесоше га на коњима и погребоше га код отаца његових у граду Јудином.
They brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
